ATI TEAS English Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which sentence demonstrates correct use of the apostrophe?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "The dog's tail wagged." Here's the rationale: 1. The apostrophe in "dog's" indicates possession, showing that the tail belongs to the dog. 2. The sentence structure is possessive, correctly using the apostrophe before the 's'. 3. Options A, B, and D incorrectly use the apostrophe for contraction instead of possession, making them grammatically incorrect.

Question 2 of 5

In the sentence 'The very lively lady was riding a beautiful parade float,' what part of speech is 'lively'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The word 'lively' in the sentence describes the noun 'lady,' indicating a characteristic or quality of the noun. This function aligns with that of an adjective, which modifies a noun or pronoun. An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb (eliminating choice B). 'Lively' is not acting as the main action of the sentence (eliminating choice A), nor is it referring to a person, place, thing, or idea (eliminating choice D). Therefore, the correct answer is C: Adjective.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following punctuation marks correctly completes the sentence below? "She bought several items for the trip____ a tent, a sleeping bag, and a flashlight."

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "She bought several items for the trip: a tent, a sleeping bag, and a flashlight." In this case, the colon (:) is used to introduce a list or an explanation, making it the appropriate punctuation mark to complete the sentence. The colon signals that a list of items is coming up, which is the intended meaning in this context. A (semicolon) is incorrect because it is used to connect closely related independent clauses, which is not the case here. C (comma) is incorrect as it is not strong enough to separate the items in the list. D (period) is incorrect because it would create two separate sentences rather than connecting the items in a list.

Question 4 of 5

Which word in the following sentence is an adverb?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Likely. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb and usually ends in -ly. In the sentence, "She will likely arrive on time," the word "likely" modifies the verb "arrive," indicating the probability of her arrival. The other choices, B: Annoyed, C: Assigned, and D: Unnecessary, are all adjectives describing the subject or object of the sentence, not modifying a verb. Therefore, they are not adverbs.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following is the plural form of the word 'chief'?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: chiefs. The plural of 'chief' follows the standard English pluralization rule by adding an -s to form the plural. 'Chieves' (B), 'chievs' (C), and 'chiefes' (D) are incorrect as they do not follow this rule and are not recognized plural forms in English.
